Psychological and Legal Aspects of Violence Against Women

Abstract

Violence against women, which is one of the main problems of society, is an important health problem that has serious social and psychological effects on women and society. Although important steps have been taken regarding violence against women in the national and international arena, there is still not enough awareness in the society about violence against women and its effects on women's mental health, the definition of women's rights, legal precautions, and assistance. In this article, we aimed to review both the psychological effects of violence against women and legal regulations on the the prevention of violence against women and the protection of victims of violence.
